So this sword has always been bugging me, as the Dread Venom Striker is a superior choice in comparison.
Not sure how this would work, but this thing would be a different situation as a piercing sword. Still, there would be some problems with that. You're swinging a sword that pierces? Still, it does have those sharp edges. If you want a sword to take out the beast family, the Barbarous Thorn Blade and Final Flourish does that job far better.
